Dancing On Ice Betting Odds: Kyran Bracken To Win For Once?

Last week the Dancing On Ice theme was 'Songs From The Movies', and you'd be forgiven for thinking that this week's edition had the theme of 'Primeval's On Soon Primeval's On Soon Watch Primeval Watch It' thanks to ITV trailing it every four seconds.

But rubbish dinosaur TV shows aside, the Dancing On Ice presenters promised us that there had just been "the most dramatic 24 hours of Dancing On Ice ever" by which they meant that the Australian woman from Emmerdale fell on her bum and some other woman hurt her hand as far as we could tell. "It's war!" they also screamed at us before we had chance to get comfortable. There they go again - confusing 'war' with 'some half-famous morons in frilly tops dancing around like girls.' Bring back the bloody draft, we say.

But who's going to win Dancing On Ice? Here comes part two of this week's Dancing On Ice betting odds - for Duncan James, Kyran Bracken and Claire Buckfield - with betting odds coming from Paddy Power…

Duncan James - You'd think that a dancer as consistently mediocre as Duncan James would be lower down the Dancing On Ice betting odds - especially since his constant back problems have left him permanently on the brink of dropping out of the show - but the legions of wonk-eyed Blue fans are bound to keep him on Dancing On Ice until the latter stages of the competition no matter what he does, even if it's filling a nondescript 19.5-scored routine with fey little bunny hops, continuing to groom his gay beard into ever-more ridiculous shapes or apparently scalping Cleo Rocos and claiming her haircut for his own. To be fair, though, Duncan James could have performed a billion back-flip cartwheels and nobody would have noticed because of that ludicrous haircut. Current Dancing On Ice betting odds - 4/1

Kyran Bracken - Up until Saturday's Dancing On Ice, Kyran Bracken's main problem was that - being a rugby player - the only emotions he'd be capable of displaying were deep confusion and a sort of simmering homoerotic violence. But this was fixed on Saturday when his routine was fast, nicely synchronised, balanced to perfection and completely convincing. The Dancing On Ice judges gave him a score of 26 as a result - the highest score of the series so far, and a warning to Claire Buckfield that she'll need to learn how to spontaneously combust if she wants to sneak past him in the Dancing On Ice scores. Current Dancing On Ice betting odds - 7/4

Claire Buckfield - How was Claire going to top the backflip she pulled off during last week's Dancing On Ice? Simple - she'd perform her routine upside-down in a frilly nightie with her neck wrapped around her partner's neck. However, the Dancing On Ice judges rightly saw that Claire was just pulling off all sorts of spectacular stunts for the sake of it and only gave her a score of 23.5 as a result. Once again, it was the lack of emotion that hurt Claire Buckfield's Dancing On Ice score this time, and she'd have done well to explore the underlying passion contained within My Love Don't Cost A Thing by J-Lo before she started flinging herself like a ragdoll. Current Dancing On Ice betting odds - 7/4
